Your Individual Rights
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 provides individuals with a number of rights in relation to their personal data. There are eight individual rights, which concern:
- The right to be informed
- The right of access
- The right to rectification
- The right to erasure
- The right to restrict processing
- The right to data portability
- The right to object
- Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling
Individual Rights requests are usually free of charge and need to be responded to within one calendar month. A longer period and charge may be incurred if a request is particularly complex.
Requests to access any of the above rights should be made to our Data Protection office. We may need to ask for additional information in order to process a request:
- By email: dpo@ltegroup.co.uk
- By post: Data Protection Officer, Whitworth House, Ashton Old Road, Manchester M11 2WH
Accessing your information
Individuals have the right to access and receive a copy of their personal data, and other supplementary information. This is commonly referred to as a subject access request (SAR).
If you would like to make a request for a copy of the data held about you, you can submit a subject access request by any of the following methods:
- By email: dpo@ltegroup.co.uk
- By post: Data Protection Officer, Whitworth House, Ashton Old Road, Manchester M11 2WH
We aim to respond to subject access requests within the statutory response period of one calendar month.
Report a data protection incident
A data protection incident (personal data breach) is a breach of security that leads the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data.
If you suspect that a personal data incident has occurred, please contact the Data Protection office immediately.
You should provide as much detail as you can, including:
- Details of the incident
- When it occurred
- Where it occurred
- Who was involved
- How the incident may have happened
- Any mitigating actions already taken

Records management
We have a Records Management Policy and Data Retention Schedule which outline how long we will retain your personal data for. The Schedule sets out the minimum amount of time that we need to keep records for. The recommendations set out here have been produced in consultation with the relevant departments and JISC, who provide guidance and retention schedules for information held in higher and further education institutions.
Our Policy and Schedule are available on request.

Freedom of Information
The Freedom of Information Act (FOI) 2000 provides a right of access to information held by public authorities and sets out exemptions to that right of access.

Publication Scheme
A publication scheme is a requirement of the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) 2000. The Act promotes greater openness and accountability across the public sector by requiring public authorities to make information available proactively, through a publication scheme.
Publication Scheme LTE Group Information Guide LTE Group Procurment Profile & Supplier Managment
Under the FOI, public authorities must produce a Publication Scheme describing:
- the information they will publish
- the format in which the information will be published
- whether or not the information is available free of charge
The Publication Scheme is available to download below, it is not an exhaustive list of information held by us. It does, however, describe the types of information that are routinely available and facilitates access to that information.
Our Scheme follows the model Publication Scheme produced for Further Education Colleges by the Information Commission's office.
The publication scheme is a guide to the information we make available to the public as part of our normal business activities. The information covered is included in the following classes:
- Who we are and what we do
- What we spend and how we spend it
- What our priorities are and how we are doing
- How we make decisions
- Lists and registers
- The services we offer
The Scheme is not a list of actual publications, because these will change as new material is published or existing material revised. It is, however, our commitment to make available the information described.
Accessing information covered by the Publication Scheme
To request information available through our publication scheme, please email foi@ltegroup.co.uk or write to:
Data Protection (FOI) Whitworth House Ashton Old Road Manchester M11 2WHWhere possible we intend to progressively publish all documents covered by the Scheme in electronic format via our website although at present most documents are available in hard copy only.
What about information not covered by the Publication Scheme?
From 1 January 2005 you have the right, under the FOI, to request any information held by a public authority, which it has not already made available through its publication scheme.
Requests should be made in writing to: foi@ltegroup.co.uk and, in general, public authorities will have 20 working days to respond. They may charge a fee, which will be calculated according to Fees Regulations. They will not be required to release information to which an exemption in the Act legitimately applies. However, public authorities may be required to explain to the applicant why they are not releasing information and they may also have to justify this to the Information Commissioner.
